Evaluate the Health History and Medical Information for Mr. C., presented below.
Based on this information, formulate a conclusion based on your evaluation, and complete the Critical Thinking Essay assignment, as instructed below.
Health History and Medical Information
Health History
Mr. C., a 32-year-old single male, is seeking information at the outpatient center regarding possible bariatric surgery for his obesity. He currently works at a catalog telephone center. He reports that he has always been heavy, even as a small child, gaining approximately 100 pounds in the last 2-3 years. Previous medical evaluations have not indicated any metabolic diseases, but he says he has sleep apnea and high blood pressure, which he tries to control by restricting dietary sodium. Mr. C. reports increasing shortness of breath with activity, swollen ankles, and pruritus over the last 6 months.
Objective Data:
1.    Height: 68 inches; weight 134.5 kg
2.    BP: 172/98, HR 88, RR 26
3.    3+ pitting edema bilateral feet and ankles
4.    Fasting blood glucose: 146 mg/dL
5.    Total cholesterol: 250 mg/dL
6.    Triglycerides: 312 mg/dL
7.    HDL: 30 mg/dL
8.    Serum creatinine 1.8 mg/dL
9.    BUN 32 mg/dl
Critical Thinking Essay
In 750-1,000 words, critically evaluate Mr. C.’s potential diagnosis and intervention(s). Include the following:
1.    Describe the subjective and objective clinical manifestations present in Mr. C.
2.    Describe the potential health risks for obesity that are of concern for Mr. C. Explain whether bariatric surgery is an appropriate intervention.
3.    Assess each of Mr. C.’s functional health patterns using the information given. Discuss at least five actual or potential problems you can identify from the functional health patterns and provide the rationale for each. (Functional health patterns include health-perception, health-management, nutritional, metabolic, elimination, activity-exercise, sleep-rest, cognitive-perceptual, self-perception/self-concept, role-relationship, sexuality/reproductive, coping-stress tolerance.)
4.    Explain the stages of renal disease that leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). What factors contributed to Mr. C’s ESRD?
5.    Consider ESRD prevention and health promotion opportunities. Describe what type of patient education for ESRD should be provided to Mr. C. for prevention of future events, health restoration, and avoidance of deterioration of renal status.
6.    Explain the type of resources available for ESRD patients for nonacute care and the type of multidisciplinary approach that would be beneficial for these patients. Include aspects such as devices, transportation, living conditions, return-to-employment issues.

For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.
You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must developat least three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those.
This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules.

Academic clinical history and physical notes provide a unique opportunity to practice and demonstrate advanced practice documentation skills, develop and demonstrate critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills, and practice identifying acute and chronic problems and formulating evidence-based plans of care.
Complete an academic clinical history and physical note based on a patient seen during clinical/practicum. In your assessment, provide the following:
History and Physical Note
Chief complaint/reason for admission/visit/consult.
HPI for the H&P or consult notes.
Medical, surgical, family, social, and allergy history.
Home medications, including dosages, route, frequency, and current medications, if a consultation note.
Review of systems with all body systems for H&P or consult notes. Review of systems is what the patient or family/friends tell you (by body system).
Vital signs and weight.
Physical exam with a complete head-to-toe evaluation. Include pertinent positives and negatives based on findings from head-to-toe exam.
Lab/Imaging/Diagnostic test results (including date).
Assessment and Clinical Impressions
Identify at least three differential diagnoses based upon the chief complaint, ROS, assessment, or abnormal diagnostic tools with rationale.
Include a complete list of all diagnoses that are both acute and chronic.
List the differential diagnoses and chronic conditions in order of priority.

General Requirements
Incorporate at least three peer-reviewed articles in the assessment or plan.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

You will construct your literature review final paper which will be 30% of your final grade. To create your paper you will be utilizing all the tools you acquired during this semester. For example, you have your Concept Paper, your Concept map and your literature. You can see page 8 in your APA Journal for the components of the Literature Review Paper. As stated there:
:…..the authors should:
DEFINE AND CLARIFY THE PROBLEM
SUMMARIZE PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS TO INFORM READERS OF THE STATE OF THE RESEARCH
IDENTIFY RELATIONS, CONTRADICTIONS, GAPS AND INCONSISTENCIES IN THE LITERATURE AND
SUGGEST NEXT STEPS IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM,
So using your  Evidence Table and Outline as a guide, you are to write a 7-9 page paper (not including the title or reference pages). You must pay careful attention to the APA format.Final paper is DUE DEC 8th and is 30% of your final grade.
I am still getting quite a few questions about the literature review paper. Therefore, I went back into the assignment and added more clarification. I also recommend that you read page 8, section 1.6 in the APA Journal.
You do not need to do an abstract as a part of this paper.
